Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Catfish fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, fresh dill (chopped), lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined to create a mustard-dill marinade.
Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then evenly coat each fillet with the mustard marinade on both sides.
Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each piece.
Drizzle the fillets with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until the fish is flaky and opaque in the thickest part.
Optionally, broil the fillets for an additional 2–3 minutes on high for a beautiful golden finish.
Serve the mustard dill catfish hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
